Washington Examiner Tweets "Trump is going to hell."

As tempted as I am, I can't find it within me to claim that a tweet posted by a hacker amounts to LBN. It's still funny.

Hat tip, Joe.My.God: Washington Examiner Tweets Trump Is Going To Hell

U.S.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER TWITTER SAYS 'TRUMP IS GOING TO HELL'

BY CHANTAL DA SILVA ON 11/5/18 AT 5:51 AM

The Washington Examiner, a conservative American political journalism website and weekly magazine, has tweeted out a scathing post on President Donald Trump declaring that the president is "going to hell," before hitting out at the paper itself for promoting him.

"Trump is going to hell," the tweet, posted on Monday just after 1a.m. ET reads. "Anyone who ever read the bible can tell you where it stands on rich adulterers."

"The key to God's forgiveness is repentance. Trump's entire political career has been about the exact opposite of that," it states, before adding: "Also, this paper is garbage for promoting 'Trump and God'."



The Washington Examiner tweeted out this message on November 5, 2018 just after 1 a.m. ET. It is unclear who wrote the message.
THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER/TWITTER

It is still unclear who wrote the tweet. However, half an hour after its posting, it was still live on Twitter, with the post appearing to be accompanied by a blank image.

Sadly, it's been taken down. Instead, we read this:

The Washington Examiner’s Twitter feed was hacked and a tweet was posted that did not come from our staff. We are taking appropriate action and will issue a further statement if necessary.



The comments are delicious.

But it was awesome!! Put it back! Put it back!!
